Find someone who's crazy enough to part with their low mileage SVT Contour. Try to find a 2000 model. Buy an extended warranty. Don't modify the engine internals, and don't drive it like you just stole it on a regular basis. It'll then last you a loooong time.
1998 EO SVT, silver frost, stock 2002 Ashcroft Homes Albany model, that's why the SVT is stock!
